Carotid artery stenosis progression varies among patients. Rapid stenosis increases stroke risk, often due to plaque complications in the carotid bifurcation.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Medical Imaging

Context:

  • Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a significant risk factor for ischemic stroke.
  • Understanding the natural history and progression patterns of CAS is crucial for risk stratification and management.

Purpose:

  • To estimate the dynamics of carotid artery stenosis progression in patients with stenosis equal to or higher than 40%.

Summary:

  • Colour Doppler examinations were performed 105 times in 25 patients with significant CAS over a mean observation period of 22.5 months.
  • No progression was observed in 44% of patients.
  • Leap progression (>30% lumen reduction) occurred in 24% of patients, while gradual progression was seen in 32%.

Impact:

  • Leap progression, often linked to atherosclerotic plaque eruption or dissection at the carotid bifurcation, indicates a particularly high risk of stroke.
